Bøger af Jelena Lengold

In Baltimore, Jelena Lengold offers an exquisite portrayal of a Belgrade writer, a woman in her forties, whose tightly packed, unresolved inner conflicts with herself and the people closest to her have led her to a sobering dead end. She is compelled to turn around and look closely at the routine of her everyday life - her marriage, family, friends, loves, lies and the likes. What she finds is a strange mixture of uncertainty and boredom, insecurity and determination which grow into fullblown frustration at sessions with her therapist. The writer's block the protagonist suffers from is a metaphor for a blocked life, a life led in the recesses of reality represented in bouts of silence, web cam voyeurism and Internet flings. Lengold's prose style - witty, sharp and somber- strikes a resounding tone for telling the truth of one of our lives.

A witty, wonderful collection of short stories with a distinctly feminine, erotic flavour. With a selection of wonderful characters; from Elvis impersonators to cat lovers, Lengold takes the reader on a charming ride in this prize-winning collection.
